We’ve been writing practical Italy advice from Rome since 2014. The app just puts it in your pocket.
Choose your Italy on Foot pass
Free to explore; a pass is required to plan, save, and use the Concierge. Both passes include the planning tools before the trip and the day-of tools (Today, Map, Concierge) while you’re in Italy. You only spend credits when the app generates help for you (1 credit = one Concierge answer or one day adjustment), not when you open your trip, check the map, or review saved plans.

What your pass helps with
Use it before you leave to make better trip decisions. Use it in Italy when you need fast help that fits where you are, how tired you are, and what changed today.
Before the trip
- Choose when to go
Get opinionated date windows, tradeoffs, crowd warnings, weather notes, and the honest catch behind each recommendation.
When to go: Pick dates with the tradeoffs spelled out
- Build a route that makes sense
Check city order, nights per stop, travel time, and whether your route creates unnecessary backtracking.
Build Route: Put your cities in an order that works
- Find expensive mistakes before they happen
Trip Check looks for risky plans: impossible days, missing tickets, bad transfer timing, closed-day problems, hotel spike periods, and early flights after late nights.
Trip Check: See route and pacing problems before you book
- Know what to book and when
Get a ticket timing checklist with what to book now, what can wait, what to skip, and where official links belong.
Ticket Timing: Know which important bookings need attention
- Get a day-by-day itinerary
Turn your route into a day-by-day plan: timed stops, booking flags, where to eat nearby, and where to stay in each city.
Day-by-day planning: Build realistic days around your actual trip
- Compare cities without getting lost
Compare up to 6 cities by crowd level, cost, minimum stay, walking feel, best use case, and whether they fit this trip.
Compare: Put up to 6 cities side by side
Once you’re in Italy
- Open Today
See today’s city, day number, current plan, next stop, and the fastest actions for the moment.
Today: Open the part of the plan that matters right now
- See your day on the map
Your day's stops on a street map, with the walking route between them and a Google Maps hand-off for directions. Opening the map never spends credits.
Map: See useful trip places in relation to your day
Before and during your trip
While you plan: is three nights enough for Rome, is Venice worth an August visit, how do you get from Naples to Positano. While you travel: where to eat near you, what to do when it rains or a museum closes. Answered for your exact trip, in our voice, with sources.
Concierge: Ask questions using your route and travel preferences
From Italy on Foot travellers
What people say after the trip
The part of the app each traveller found most useful, in their own words.
It saved me from overplanning Rome.
I had way too much packed into each day and Italy on Foot helped me figure out what was actually realistic. The final itinerary felt much more relaxed, and we still saw everything that mattered.
Like having someone in Italy helping with the trip.
The Concierge was probably my favorite part. I could ask very specific questions about where we were, what we had planned, and what to do next instead of searching through endless Google results.
The Trip Check caught things I completely missed.
I thought our itinerary was finished, but it flagged a couple of days that were too ambitious and reminded me about tickets I needed to book ahead. I would absolutely use it again for another Italy trip.
Finally an Italy planner that doesn’t make things more complicated.
I loved having the itinerary, map, ticket reminders, and recommendations together in one place. It made planning Florence and Venice much less overwhelming.
Most useful once we were actually in Italy.
One afternoon we were exhausted and knew we weren’t going to finish everything we had planned. The app helped us decide what to cut without feeling like we were missing the best part of the day. That alone made it worth it.
Specific answers, not generic travel advice
These are examples of the kind of help Italy on Foot gives. Personalized answers unlock after checkout and use your trip details.
“We’re in Florence, tired after the Uffizi, and still have Boboli Gardens and Piazzale Michelangelo planned. What should we cut?”
You’ve already done the most demanding part of the day. Boboli adds more walking, stairs, and heat exposure, and it is less rewarding when you’re tired.
- Take a real break now.
- Do an easy dinner near Santo Spirito or your hotel.
- Go to Piazzale Michelangelo around sunset only if you recover.
- Move Boboli to tomorrow morning or skip it without guilt.
In the paid app, this kind of Concierge reply uses 1 credit.
“We’re near the Pantheon in Rome. Lunch within 10 minutes, not touristy, one vegetarian.”
- Armando al Pantheon: the Roman classic two minutes away, only works if you can get a table.
- Ginger at Sant’Eustachio: four minutes, lighter lunch, salads and grain bowls.
- Cul de Sac by Piazza Navona: eight minutes, huge menu, easy for mixed tables.
- Skip the piazza-front terraces: you pay for the view, not the food.
In the paid app, this kind of Concierge reply uses 1 credit.
“It’s raining in Venice and we have outdoor wandering planned all afternoon.”
- Choose one indoor anchor, not three.
- Add a coffee stop nearby.
- Keep one short scenic walk.
- Save the long canal wandering for tomorrow morning.
Honest note: If everyone is tired, nap first. Venice is better when you are not dragging yourself through rain.
In the paid app, this kind of Concierge reply uses 1 credit.
About our recommendations
Italy is full of options. Italy on Foot is designed to help you choose, not send you into another hour of searching.
We do not try to show every possible restaurant, route, museum, or day trip. We focus on practical recommendations that help you make the next good decision.
Good Italy advice depends on timing, walking comfort, heat, closures, ticket pressure, transfer fatigue, food needs, family notes, and how much energy you have left.
Sometimes the right move is to cut a stop, slow down, eat nearby, avoid a transfer, or stop trying to rescue the original plan.
For live checks, restaurants, tickets, and opening hours, the app should show confidence clearly and point you to official sources when a final decision depends on current availability.
The goal is not to create the most impressive itinerary. The goal is to help your trip work when you are hungry, tired, late, rained on, or unsure what to do next.
Rome on Foot is where we share the kind of Italy advice we believe in: practical routes, useful context, honest recommendations, and places that make sense on a real day of travel.
The app turns that point of view into trip-specific help before and during your Italy trip.
Questions before you choose a pass
Is the Italy on Foot app free?
Which pass should I choose?
Do the passes renew automatically?
What happens right after I buy?
Planning a trip: you name your trip, add dates or a rough window, and start planning right away.
Already in Italy: a short setup (current city, dates left, dietary needs, walking comfort) takes you straight to Today with the Concierge and Map. It is deliberately shorter: someone standing outside a closed museum should not have to build a perfect 10-day itinerary first.
Italy Year buyers also see their 3 included trip windows, credit balance, and access end date on the account page.
What are credits and what costs one?
A credit is spent only when the app generates something new for you. These cost 1 credit each:
- A Concierge chat response
- Adjusting a single day of your itinerary
A Concierge question with a photo attached uses 2 credits: reading the photo is part of the answer.
Everything passive is free: opening your saved trip, viewing day plans, the map, previous answers, your balance, ticket timelines, GPS refreshes, notifications, account settings, checkout, and support or billing messages. Locking a day, reordering stops, and filling in cities a build missed are free too.
If you run out, you can still read everything already made, and active pass holders can buy a credit top-up.

Looking for Italy on Foot guides?
Italy on Foot guides and the Italy on Foot app are separate products. The guides are fixed PDF city guides for reading before you go. The app is a paid trip companion built around your dates, route, saved trip, food needs, walking comfort, and what is happening during your day in Italy.
Use the guides when you want destination reading. Use the app when you need help deciding what to book, what to cut, where to eat, or what to do next.
Browse PDF city guidesPDF guides are sold separately and do not include Trip Pass, Italy Year, the Concierge, Today, or the other day-of tools.
